Nixon Court Rules Impounding Highway Funds Illegal
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling that President Nixon illegally impounded 89 million dollars in federal highway funds for the Mesa Highway Commission. The decision states funds are not to be withheld for unrelated highway purposes. Justice Lay led the majority with Heaney concurring. Stephenson dissented. Democratic Senators including Sam Ervin filed a friend of the court brief supporting immediate release. Missouri had challenged the impoundment after funds for 252 miles of interstate highways were withheld. Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Idaho joined as friends of the court.
